God, who knew that a little facial hair removal could engender such a reaction? Nii, the suit stays until I know whether it will fit with the slightly lighter weight me (your judgment stated in your usual forthright manner). Otherwise, thank you all.

Vastly improved. You look much better sans facial hair and with new glasses. As others have commented, jacket is too tight.

(sorry for the poor quality pics).

Good to see you MOK. Have you lost weight? Where do the "cool kids" hang out?

Sadly, I didn't have time to discuss it further, as I was en route to an appointment. Thoughts?

I love this suit. Agree about the tie.

I think you did right just as you are... but you probably knew that already.

Very nice Greg - among all the great pics that show up on this thread you and Threadbarer and the late lamented TC Houston probably have the style closest to that which I would like to emulate. Slim cut classic. I am on the hunt for a summer weight POW, and while I am slowly coming around to the possibility of breaking my prejudice against tan shoes. Your combo with that rust coloured tie works very well.

Have to have the coat altered a bit, taken in on the sides and hem the sleeves. Plus my shoes need to be shined. Other than that I think I look alright considering the whole outfit cost under 100 dollars. Any suggestions ar loved!
